The command centre on the pit wall is no longer needed, according to former Williams Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds. On the pit wall, we see the top engineers and strategists sit in conversation with the drivers and personnel back in the factory.
However, Symonds believes it is now out-dated: "I would say that the command centres on the pit wall are meant more for viewers than the teams themselves, the team can operate fine from the garage, there is the same data and information inside. That would be no challenge.
"The command centre on the pit wall dates from the time you really had to sit on the pit wall to see some of the action on the track. Now you look only at computer screens. You can turn around only to see the pit stops."

Would it cut costs significantly if they were removed? If so, it should at least be discussed.
